You don't need ALL those metrics!
Metrics are key to monitoring system health and performance but you probably are ingesting far more metrics than you will ever need or use. The issue is that popular tools in this space, such as OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, leverage node exporters to emit a plethora of metrics. OpenTelemetry tracks even the minutest details of system performance. Prometheus exporters can generate a vast array of metrics, ranging from CPU usage to disk I/O, and everything in between.
